Evidence: | 'Jan. 19th. [1862] Princess Alice wrote to my father about the Dedication of the "Idylls" to [her father] the Prince Consort:
'[...] Mr Tennyson could not have chosen a more beautiful or true testimonial to the memory of him who was so really good and noble, than the dedication of the "Idylls of the King" which he so valued and admired. Princess Alice transmitted these lines to the Queen, who desired her to tell Mr Tennyson, with her sincerest thanks, how much moved she was on reading them, and that they had soothed her aching, bleeding heart. She knows also how [italics]he[end italics] would have admired them.' |
